English by his disciple Dr. Yutang Lin

(With
Guru Chen's original English stanzas preserved as many as appropriate)

1.Getting
Permission from the Goddess of the Earth

Visualize
the Goddess of the Earth with a yellow body as suddenly appearing from the
earth and accepting the blessing of the Master. After she offers her
approbation, she disappears.The
Master wields the Vajra toward the center of the borrowed place where the fire
altar is situated to create there a Vajra-cross foundation. Repeat the Heart
Mantra of the Dragon King and the following half-stanza:

Abiding in the limitless oneness of
Dharmadhatu,

The Palace of the Pacific Ocean Dragon
King appears within.

2.Generating
Bodhicitta

Stanza:

Sentient beings are trapped deeply in
calamities and unable to escape.

Seeking relief they should immediately
supplicate to the Dragon King.

Universally grant fearlessness, save
beings from Five Poisons and increase their merits and wisdom.

Out of compassion for beings please
accept this offering to help plant causes for full purity!

Instantaneously
the Master transforms into the Golden Guan Yin.

3.Blessing
the Bell, Vajra and Drum

(a)Visualization:

Visualize
that Father and Mother Steadfast Buddha become lights that go into the Vajra
and Bell, respectively. Visualize the moon on the right palm and the sun on the
left one. With the right hand holding the Vajra and the left one holding the
Bell, recite: "Ma Ha, Ban Zha, Hong"
and "Ban Zha, Ga Za, A." (All
incantations are written in Pin Yin, in accordance with Guru Chen's
pronunciation.) Use the Vajra to touch the heart chakra three times,
simultaneously ring the Bell three times.

Then,
while reciting the incantation of Requesting the Blessing of All Buddhas, use
the Vajra to touch the heart chakra to awake all the Buddhas that are in one's
own Buddha-nature and with the opening of the Bell facing the top of the
Master's head, turn the Bell around three times counter-clockwise, then three
times clockwise, thus all Buddhas in the ten directions are requested to give
blessing.

Two
pieces of food, prepared in advance, are offered. One is white in color for
vegetarian Gods and the other is red for carnivorous Gods.

(a)The Incantation to offer food to
the Protectors:

Weng, Ka Ka, Ka Xi, Ka Xi.

(b)Prayer Stanza to the Protectors:

All the eight departments of
protectors,

And all the Yaksas and your family,

Please take all this blessed and
delicious food.

Protect all the Yogis and their
families.

Let all of them be free and have long
life!

Gather all merits and sow all best
seeds!

And may you inspire all special
enjoyments!

Especially help this salvation fire
sacrifice,

And let me get all the
accomplishments!

Please remember all your excellent
vows,

Help me to gain all the attainments.

Get rid of all bad conditions and
death,

Destroy all my obstacles and demons.

Pacify all terrible dreams and bad
omens.

Protect us from all dangerous risks.

Help to make peace and rich harvests
for all,

May plenty of all kinds of corn and
Dharma,

And all good pleasures be helped by
you.

Do help me to fulfill all my best
wishes!

Those who have been divined to
darkness

And cannot understand all the Tantras,

Not able to hear and see this secrecy,

Please leave here and go to the places
where you belong.

If you don't take my advice right now,

I shall use the powerful and fiery
Vajra

To destroy your head into many pieces!

The
Karma Vajra throws the two pieces of food in two different directions.

(c)Repeat the Four-Hong Incantation
while throwing the mustard seeds:

Repeat
the Four-Hong Incantation to send the black deities away.

Weng, Song Ba Li, Song Ba Li,
Hong Hong Pei!

Weng, Ge Li Ha Na, Ge Li Ha Na,
Hong Hong Pei!

Weng, Ge Li Ha Na Ba Ya, Ge Li Ha
Na Ba Ya, Hong Hong Pei!

Weng, A Na Ya Ho, Ba Ga Wen, Bi
Ya Lan Zha, Hong Hong Pei!

Then
the Master visualizes the Vajra Net that covers all ten directions and is
formed with the Vajra Net Mudra. Thus from the beginning of the Homa
performance until its end, the altar and the Master and his family and
followers are protected.

5.Blessing
the Offerings

The
Master holds the Vajra dippers together, repeats the incantation given below
and visualizes much nectar falling down from Golden Guan Yin upon all the
offerings. Thus all worldly offerings become Vajra Nectar of boundless supply.

Weng, Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha!

6.Arranging
the Seat of the God of Fire and that of the Yidam

Place
auspicious grasses around the fire altar. Then arrange seats for the God of
Fire and the Yidam.

A.Praising and Welcoming the Golden God of
Fire

(a)Praise:

Shine upon the dark becoming the
bright.

Drive away the demons with big fire!

Your kind smile sends away the
sorrows.

Please sit on this good seat and
admire!

(b)Visualize the Golden God of Fire:

"Lang" appears on the moon
that is on a lotus.

From this "Lang" arises the
golden God of Fire!

He has one face and two arms.

The right hand holds the stove.

The left hand holds a fairy bottle.

His hair is very long; his belly big.

He has a golden Brahmin thread around
his belly!

(c)Welcome the Fire God:

The
Master raises a bunch of auspicious grass up to the sky to welcome the Wisdom
God of Fire and repeats the following incantation:

As incense smokes float and spread so
are the grand Dharma activities.

Compassionate clouds of Guan Yin shade
the whole universe,

While the grace of the God of Fire extends
throughout the Dharmadhatu.

Incantation:

Weng, A Na Ye, Sha Ba Li Wa La,
Ka Ka, Ka Xi, Ka Xi, Weng A Hong.

11.Dedication
of the Merits

Stanza:

Wisdom life was born of Gurus.

Corporeal life was born of parents.

Offerings were born of donors.

Fire, the fire god; water, Dragon
King.

Place belongs to the country;
companions are others.

In all these there is neither I nor
mine.

Good coming from whatever causes and
conditions

Is the natural fruit of those causes
and conditions.

The great tranquility that all beings
possess originally

Is beyond the sphere of causes and
consequences.

May the Bodhi causes of this Homa
bring about great fruits,

And those with Dragon King's blessing
will spread to all beings!

All sentient beings will share the
Bodhi fruits!

Peace and happiness pervade the world,
and calamities and hindrances vanished!

All opportune conditions for Dharma
propagation and practices gathered!

All sentient beings in the Six Realms
attain emancipation!

Dharmadhatu right away is the
Pureland!

12.Amendment

Repeat
thrice the 100-Word Incantation of Vajrasattva.

13.Repeat
Original Vows

Recite
the practitioner's Bodhi Vows to pray for continuous and never ending progress
of Dharma activities.

14.Mudra

Hold
the Mudras of the Dragon King and the Dragon King Buddha while reciting their
respective mantras three times each.

15.Circumambulation

Circumambulate
clockwise the Homa platform thrice as gesture of reverence, and then bow thrice
to the Dragon King and Queen in reverence to express gratitude.

Auspicious Completion

Epilog

In recent years weather over the Earth
changed drastically, losing the original stability. Flooding, droughts,
hurricanes and snowy storms recurred often all over the world. California has
been in severe drought for over three years, and the severity is as rare as a
centennial event. Disciples Bi He and Xin Ping requested me to compose a Homa
ritual for making offerings to the Dragon King so as to supplicate for relief
from such hardships. The Dragon King of the great Pacific Ocean has been
unreservedly helping and sustaining our Dharma Lineage of the Adi Buddha
Mandala for two generations over forty years; and the precious vases we have
offered to him are over four thousands in number—showing obviously how widespread
the salvation activities have been. The grace our Dharma lineage has received
from the Dragon King and Queen is beyond measures. May the composition of this
Homa ritual and subsequent offerings express to a slight extent our sincere
gratitude and profound indebtedness!
